Well Larry is "Ole Reliable", right? He's the one that goes out and orders a steak. Nothing fancy. Lol. Or is that another ump I'm thinking of?

All of them this year. There seems to be a considerable amount of more missed strike calls this year than in previous years. And I’m not talking borderline strikes. Balls that aren’t even debatable strikes seem to be called balls at a higher clip this year than I can ever recall.

I’ve always enjoyed the variable strike zone, but it’s a been a little ridiculous this year. For the CPU and myself.

Anyone playing with umpire balls set to ''perfect'', do you still find yourself disagreeing with borderline calls? I feel like sometimes even with perfect on, there are still questionable calls that I benefit from half the time and go against me half the time.

I just played a game where he consistently gave the CPU strikes on pitches 100% out of the zone both inside and outside, and its far from the first time. I struck out looking many times.
